PSG Tech, Coimbatore faculty training

Its my great pleasure that our campus ambassadors Prashanth from AKCE Madurai, Krithika from TCE Madurai and Ramya from BannariAmman, delivered a faculty training at PSG Tech, Coimbatore sponsored by AICTE. This is about 15 days program and we participated in one day event(threee days activities, see below for details). The training was attended by 25 faculties from 15 engineering colleges from TN and Kerala.

The amazing part was that they were shocked when our CAs told them that "we are students representing Sun Microsystems" . They were enjoyed all the sessions. Interesting thing was that faculties are from multi disciplinary domains from engineering colleges and this was organized by PSG to create an awareness about open source technologies.

Prashanth had setup a 3D desktop using compiz with opensolaris build 64, after looking at the features and usability in opensolaris, faculties wanted to use sun studio, netbeans and of course open solaris.

Before delivering the sessions to faculties on July 2nd, our CAs conducted sessions on Sun technologies to M.Tech and B.Tech students on weekend, please see the schedule below for details. After looking at the level of expertise of these CAs, faculties from PSG invited them for delivering a guest lecture sessions on sun technologies.

This is one more feather to the accomplishments from CA program in India.
Thanks guys, great job done! Keep the flag high.
